I am against this strip on so many levels. With the accumulated tragedies that Mr. Bear has endured - the death of his wife decades ago, a stint in prison - this should end up being a pretty minor setback. Also, the idea that Connie could be taken to this level of drunken excess by the younguns' - meh.

I'm all bummed out now. Three people I never want to see cry - my dad, the quarterback of the Redskins, and Mr. Bear.

No way Golf, see through all that Cornelius still had his dignity but now it is gone and nothing can bring it back.

All I can think is, aren't they all scabbed over and shit the day after? Am I wrong about this?
No, not really.  Plus you keep them bandaged and moisturized with antibacterial cream for a few days.

Yeah, like... Terrible Things happen to everyone, basically.

Loss and failure, these are things that will just have to get you if you hang around the Earth long enough... C-Bear understands this and has rolled with many many punches.

But it is completely the opposite of Corny to be really into Star Wars. He probably liked Star Wars, mildly, when it was in the theatres but... he would've enjoyed it as a Saturday matinee diversion and nothing more.

It is not the opposite of everything he believes in to come face to face with grief and suffering.

But to suggest that he has made a science-fiction crowdpleaser film a cornerstone of his life...

That's an indignity he never counted on. And therein lies the difference.
